Licensed hair stylists receive more training than most law enforcement officers. Yet, when they make a mistake, you only get a bad haircut. When law enforcement officers make a mistake, someone gets shot.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year. In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Posting a poem called ‘Sooke Harbour’ by BC poet George Sipos. (Also, I realize I have a dirty thumbnail from deadheading portulaca last night)

Lying Kristi Noem runs an agency of liars. This regime is murdering innocent people in the Caribbean and then lying about the victims.
